Designing vbulletin skins

Has anyone got any good tutorial links or tips on designing forum skins, I cant find any guidelines around.

 

know a bit about CCS and very good at photoshop AS i said im looking for some helpful advice

 

What I suggest first is going to:

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/

and learning a bit about vBulletin templates and styles.

 

Start off with something simple like invisionfree then move up to vb then phpbb.

 

I can play about with phpbb but have not had much luck with vbul. I would first like to do a template without coding , any ideas

 

Trust me invisionfree made me a superb skinner.

 

Had a look here before but Im looking to start by making a "mock" in photoshop.

 

What do you mean by making a "mock" in photoshop? Did you make a style then slice it up?

I've never really looked at any styling tutorials, I've mainly looked through my source then looked in the templates to see whats doing what.

Something else that's helped me is makin kind of mock up of what I want to show in dreamweaver. So I make the shell in dreamweaver, then add all of the vBulletin guts into it.
